Each week, students will bring home spelling and math assignments to practice
independently what we
have already practiced at school. Homework will never be a new skill or
concept and so should be able
to be completed with minimal help or guidance from parents. Students should
get into the habit right
away of being responsible for their own materials and assignments. The
following tips may help you
get your child into a "healthy homework habit".
1) Set a consistent time and place for homework to be completed away from as
many distractions as
possible.
2) Encourage your child to put his or her homework back in the backpack as
soon as it is finished.
Completed work stuck to the fridge for safekeeping is often there the next day
when it should be back
at school.
3) Monitor your child's frustration level. If homework is taking more than
20 minutes to 1/2 hour to
complete, jot me a note, have your child put it away, and we will take another
look at it at school.
Thank you for supporting your child's education by stressing the importance of
completing homework.
By doing so, you are helping to create and independent learner! I encourage
you to read for an
additional 15-20 minutes daily with your child (or as often as possible).
Reading with your child is an
important factor in his or her reading success!!!!!
